Company profile

Who we are

We distribute movies. Our ambition is to select the best, and make the most out of it.

Whether small, big, huge, European, Asian, American, African, cross
over, art house, mainstream; we work hard to allow every movie to shine –
on the big screen. From Almodovar to the Dardenne brothers, from Lord
of the Rings to Wong Kar Wai, from La Mome to Lola rennt; we are open.

We focus on quality, our catalogue speak for itself (click here). But we are no fools, and know how to add up quantities.

Our employees come from different background (minor and major ones), all
bringing something special to Cinéart. We pride ourselves in taking our
work seriously and not taking ourselves seriously.

For a long time now, Cinéart has brought stability, professionalism,
enthusiasm, ambition and attention to details in its markets. What
passion stands for, at the service of movies and viewers alike.

Business overview

We are one of the few distributors to be fully integrated, across
windows and across regions (Wallonia, Flanders and the Netherlands),
with dedicated local teams:
- Theatrical: dedicated teams in Belgium and the Netherlands, structured around specialist skills (by movie type)
- Video: TWIN PICS (joint venture with Pias in the Netherlands and
Belgium) releasing and producing new movies as well as catalogues (e.g.
Studio Canal)
- TV and digital: dedicated staff in Belgium and the Netherlands with VoD sales growing rapidly
- European acquisition pool: founding member of Indie Circle (EU pool
with members from France, Italy, Switzerland, Benelux, more to come)
with titles such as Thank you for Smoking and Paradise Now

Our 25-strong Benelux team is doing its best to maximise each window.
And we do believe that control is essential in providing this.
